I have said before that being an ally means amplifying the voices of those who are marginalized. I really don't feel confident writing on this issue.

I figured I would open this up with a sentiment we can all agree on.

Most of you know who Jasmine Guy is. She was Whitley on "A Different World" and was in the classic "Harlem Nights." She also was in that anti-choice film. Based on some interesting things that she said, I question how much she understood about that movie.

And I can't remember where I read stories about this, but I digress....)
